Ricky Stenhouse Jr. will debut an all-new paint scheme for this Sunday’s Go Bowling at the Glen at Watkins Glen International.
The new Eggo Waffles “Brunch in a Jar” will sponsor Stenhouse’s No. 47 Chevy. It’s the newest creation from Sugarlands Distilling Co. ahead of National Waffle Day on Aug. 24.
“This weekend, JTG Daugherty Racing returns to the site of their very first @NASCAR Cup Series victory with a sweet looking ride thanks to @SugarlandsShine and @eggo’s collaboration,” JTG Daugherty Racing announced Tuesday.
The liqueur is a blend of the flavors of toasted Eggo Waffles, sweet maple syrup and rich butter, with a hint of smoky bacon.
“Working with Eggo to bring Eggo Nog to life last year was a tremendous experience. So we’re thrilled to partner with them again to create a brunch-inspired version of our Sippin’ Cream, that parents can enjoy year-round,” said Greg Eidam, Master Distiller at Sugarlands Distilling Co., via Jayski.com. “Our distillery team crafted Eggo Brunch in a Jar to combine flavors of toasted Eggo waffles, rich maple syrup and notes of creamy butter, with a savory hint of bacon in every sip.
“Eggo Brunch in a Jar is the perfect way to elevate weekend brunch with a fun cocktail. Or to enjoy classic brunch flavors during your well-deserved ‘me time’ in the evening.”
Daytona 500 victory vaults Ricky Stenhouse Jr. into NASCAR Cup Series playoffs
Perhaps the fresh paint scheme will give Stenhouse an extra jolt at Watkins Glen, as the Cup Series playoffs approach. The winner of the 2023 Daytona 500, Stenhouse currently sits 16th in the points standings. He is coming off a disappointing 25th place finish in this past Sunday’s Verizon 200 at the Brickyard.
Stenhouse has just two top-10 finishes in his last 10 races, making his victory at Daytona all that more important. The 35-year-old will certainly never forget that moment, and what it meant for his career.
“It’s been nice,” Stenhouse recently said. “It’s nice being introduced as a Daytona 500 champion. Just knowing we were — especially that week — representing the sport and the 75th anniversary and getting it kicked off. You know, we’ve had a great season, great turnouts, great crowd, great viewership. So, it was really cool to kinda kick off the season as the Daytona 500 champion.”
